Aspire 1820PT

The 11.6" Aspire 1820PT features a convertible design and multi-touch screen for uniquely flexible use. And with an ultra-low-voltage processor at its heart, this Aspire lasts a full 8 hours with one single battery charge, giving you all day to nurture connections and enjoy multi-touch infotainment.
  • Convertible display
  • The Aspire 1820PT features a special convertible design that allows you to use it as a photo frame or the perfect presentation tool. You can also fold it up like a notepad to take notes, read ebooks or navigate maps. What's more, this Aspire features a built-in accelerometer that automatically rotates images! Smaller than a magazine, the Aspire 1820PT still offers total usability via its Acer FineTip full-size keyboard with larger keys for better typing.
  • Go from sun up to sun down
  • All it takes is a one-time battery charge to handle your entire day's communication and infotainment needs. Power-saving technologies extend battery life so you can do more and enjoy more. Advanced Wi-Fi® and optional 3G connectivity keep you in constant touch via the Internet. The Acer Crystal Eye webcam, Video Quality Enhancement (VQE) technology, and built-in mic make sure your video calls are as good as they can get.
  • Multi-touch infotainment
  • Experience the magic of touch! The 11.6" HD display features an integrated multi-touch screen supporting finger touch and pen input for faster and more intuitive navigation. Enter the Acer TouchPortal to manage your multimedia with drag-and-drop convenience. You can also create colorful memos using Acer TouchMemo; cruise the web with Internet Explorer®; and view your next travel destination using Microsoft® Surface Globe. To complete your "touching" experience, the multi-gesture touchpad is perfect for scrolling, rotating images, zooming and browsing -- all with your fingertip.
  • Premium-class control
  • Leading ultra-low-voltage processor options and Intel graphics deliver high level entertainment with brilliant visuals. For greater convenience and functionality, the Acer Backup key provides instant backup with one press; a programmable key is on the display for easy access to a function of your choice; and a wireless/Bluetooth® switch makes selecting connections faster than ever.
